Plastic Mould Steels (also called P20 steels, mould tool steels, or mold steels) are specially engineered steels used for manufacturing plastic injection molds, blow molds, extrusion dies, and compression molds. These steels are designed to offer excellent machinability, polishability, toughness, and dimensional stability, ensuring long mold life and high-quality plastic components.
Hot Work Tool Steels are specially developed steels designed to withstand high temperatures, thermal fatigue, and mechanical loads during industrial operations involving heat. These steels are used in applications where tools come in contact with hot metals (300°C to 700°C) such as forging, die-casting, extrusion, and hot stamping.
Cold Work Tool Steels are specially developed steels designed for tooling that operates at room temperature or slightly elevated temperatures (below 200°C). They are widely used for cutting, punching, forming, shearing, and shaping materials under cold conditions.
The EN Series (European Norm) refers to a group of medium carbon and alloy steels widely used in engineering, automotive, tooling, and general industrial applications.
High Speed Steel (HSS) is a class of high-performance tool steels designed to cut materials at high speeds while maintaining hardness, strength, and wear resistance — even at high temperatures. HSS keeps its cutting edge sharp even when tools become hot due to friction.
